Honestly as good as all the Astro cartoons have been so far I'd like my own crack at it. I'd just need to learn Japanese... maybe. See I'd like to do a sort of hybrid of the old and the new, the light and the dark. The evil Tenma was cool and creepy, and there's lots I could do with the characters. ...

Seeing as Mega Man is a video game it does center on action. I like the Astro dub I guess because he's consistently more similar to Mega Man. Maybe it's just cause I wish Mega Man could have an anime with such awesome artistry and such. But nonetheless the slightly more mature acting Astro just has ...

In regards to Astro growing, all cartoons and the manga have touched upon that topic. Granted the 2003 series lost the episode concerning that in the dub because Sony was retarded or something. Fact is Astro can't grow. And being the creation of a madman's passion it's unlikely anyone would be able ...

I'm pretty sure Megaman was inspired more by Neo Human Casshan/Casshern. I've read it in interviews with Keiji Inafune , the game's creator. Not to say that there aren't a lot of similarities between Astroboy and Megaman. A. That's being picky. B. What's to say Astro Boy wasn't another source of in...

Them fighting each other makes very little sense, you're right. They're both pacifists, why would they do any unnecessary fighting? Also wouldn't they be so adorable working alongside each other and talking all technical and stuff.

Plus then there's two tushies eh Dragonrider?

Yeah I keep bringing up Mega Man, but honestly the series is Astro's spiritual sister series so I think it's okay to talk about it, particularly if it links to Astro. So we all know 2003's evil and creepy Tenma, trying to make Astro evolve etc. Well there's an interesting note here in both Mega Man ...

I saw the english first and only. I'm an english speaking person, therefore I want to see the english dubbing. I already said I don't like to read anime, I want to hear it. That's why it's a visual and oral medium. In fact I always see the english and simply not bother with finding it in Japanese. W...

I think this is my petition ^^; and honestly, about the voice casting the only voice I really thought was poorly casted as Astro. And even then, I think it was less who they got to play him and more HOW he was played. The raspy voice, dumb catch phrase, and extra attitude did not do it for me. I ac...

While I agree on an uncut version of the 2003 series, I do not agree with it being in Japanese with english subtitles. That can be an option, but I would like to see it dubbed and uncut, because being english speaking I want to hear them speak. If I wanted to read, I'd grab the manga. It's a TV show...

Then Astro rebels against Tenma and Tenma blasts him with that shutdown tool and sets fire to the ministry of science! In the 2003 version anyways.
